Habitat - Indoor :: Experimental plant protector

[BullDog]

Well, it was good while it lasted. Frankie managed to tip it over.


And this is all that was left of the big, lovely water hyacinth!


Funny, she didn't even touch the water lettuce that was in there though! I righted the container, and put the water lettuce back in, but I figured the hyacinth was too far gone.

You'd think I don't feed her or something

*gasp* the carnage...

Hehe... have to make the container more tip-over-proof

My tank is full of shredded hornwort and hyacinth. I've been searching for a water plant that she won't eat. I'll have to give water lettuce a try! Someone said that crinum lillies might be a good idea, as they have a strong oniony taste. I would grow these plants in the sump, but the sump on this tank is like 2 gallon buckets, so there's no good way to do that. I need a regular sump tank for it, but I need one that's maybe 8 inches deep, because the stand has little clearance.

Nice idea Bulldog~! But your Frankie just to smart than you... hehe

Know what would be sort of funny? If you attached the plant protector to the rim of the tank with rubber bands, on two different sides, so that, when she pulls on it, she can't knock it over but she can still tank on it all she wants.
